title: Three-dimensional measurement system for functional arm motion study.
abstract: An easy-to-use and inexpensive system for studying human movement is described and applied to the study of arm movement during feeding. A typical time to produce kinematic data for an experiment is one hour, including the experiment. System error was found to be less than three per cent. Besides the kinematic data the system inherently provides for a permanent video copy of the studied movement.
